"Whose cabbage, whose cabbage......" shouted the teahouse guy standing at the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw a slightly thin old man in his fifties, still holding a bowl of oil residue in his hand, biting half a flatbread in his mouth, and hurriedly ran over.

"Eh, here we are...... My dish, this is my dish, twenty cents. ”

"Dafu Ji unloads four people, each with twenty copper coins, and there is a word of who is going. ”

"I'll go, I'll go......"

Hula, more than a dozen middle-aged men surrounded him, all of them with dark skin, burly figures, and thighs thicker than Chu Yan's waist.

I saw the old man who had just spoken pointing with his finger, "You, you...... And you two, come with me. ”

In the morning, there were a lot of people looking for workers like this, and there were also a lot of people buying vegetables, Chu Yan sat in an inconspicuous corner and kept watching secretly, thinking that this kind of life is not bad, although it is hard and dull, but it is very stable, and there is no need to worry about it every day.

"Man, come and break the pot. ”

The four people who went to Dafu Ji to unload the goods had already returned, everyone was sweating profusely and covered in dust, and when they saw that Chu Yan was still here, they came over.

"Yahe, I said, little brother, why haven't you left yet?"

The four of them were all simple men, and they didn't have so many polite words, so they sat directly next to him.

Chu Yan has always liked to deal with this kind of person, so he asked the guy to add a few side dishes and a pot of wine, and glanced at the four of them with a smile: "Today's harvest is okay, right?"

"It's enough to feed the mother-in-law and the little cubs. "One of the older men saw that Chu Yan was very talkative, and he was generous, so he naturally talked more.

"Today, the boss of Dafu Ji was generous and gave us an extra ten copper coins each, which can be regarded as a copy. ”

"yes, that's a good thing?"

Although Chu Yan now has no worries about food and clothing, and he has never been short of money to spend, but the time he spent in Jinye Village made him know that thirty copper coins is not a small amount for these coolies, enough to support his wife and children today, and maybe there are some left.

"Dafu Ji has always been generous, and never grabs food from us. ”

The other person smiled, it seemed that he was very happy with the extra ten copper coins, but then he looked at Chu Yan carefully.

"Little brother, I see that you have fine skin and tender meat, and you don't look like a person who is here to make a living, nor does you look like you are looking for someone to work. But you've been sitting here since early in the morning, and it's almost noon yet, eh...... What the hell are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Chu Yan smiled, "Why, I can't be the son of a family who came here to drink tea." ”

"No way, those boys won't come here. ”

After a pause, the slightly older middle-aged man continued: "They either go to the opera garden or to the Spring Building, even if they drink tea and eat, they have to be a decent big restaurant, how can they come to this kind of place, and you don't look like a rich man when you dress like a rich man, which family's son." ”

This really stunned Chu Yan, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but fortunately, an old man came to the door at this time, and he walked in in a hurry.

"Unload, is there anyone willing to go, give thirty copper coins. ”

Surprisingly, none of the four middle-aged men moved, just drank tea and asked Chu Yan's identity one by one.

The old man was in a hurry now, looked around, and hurriedly walked over, "You four, do you want to go for thirty yuan?"

"I said when was this coming, and now it's coming. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, add ten cents, can you go?" the old man looked anxious.

Chu Yan thought that these people would get up immediately, but he didn't think of the middle-aged man who was a little older, and waved his hand: "Don't go, don't go...... I guess you won't be able to find anyone at this hour, so please be early tomorrow. ”

"Add another ten pennies, please help. ”

"I can't even say I'm going, or you can look elsewhere and see if there's any work, or come early tomorrow." ”

"This ...... Alas......"

The old man had no choice but to walk out, but Chu Yan was very puzzled, saying in his heart that he didn't make any money, and besides, it wasn't too late, it was just noon.

"Little brother is quite puzzled, don't we make any money?"

Seeing Chu Yan nodded, the slightly older middle-aged man continued: "This is the rule of our coolies, if we have enough chewing today, we won't take the job, and we will leave it to other people." ”

"And this rule?" Chu Yan smiled in surprise, "It's just noon, what are you going to do at that moment?"

"For a while?" one of them said: "After a while, our brothers will go to the bathhouse to wash it, and then come to him half a catty of wine, sleep in the hall after eating, wake up and visit the theater shed, see the street jugglers, give a melon and two dates, it is estimated that it should be dark this day, buy some food for the night and go home to the mother-in-law, and come here early tomorrow morning to beg for life." ”

Forehead......

Chu Yan was directly stunned, and his mind was blank.

"What, little brother doesn't believe it?"

The slightly older middle-aged man was surprised for a moment, and then said: "Look at the performers in this teahouse, they are basically gone now, and after a while, we coolies will go to the cheers after eating and drinking, and we can't make people hungry, in fact, no matter where it is, this is like an unwritten rule, how many generations have lived like this." ”

Chu Yan let out a sigh of relief, and felt a little in his heart, it seems that these inconspicuous coolies live at the bottom of society, relying on hard work every day to support their families, but they are not stingy, and they still think about those artists who sell their arts, this is really like a system, repeatedly, endlessly.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the four of them got up one after another, and when they were leaving, these people did not forget to inquire about Chu Yan's true identity.

"If you are destined to get together, why bother to get acquainted, next time, next time we will have tea together. ”

Out of the door of the teahouse, everyone parted ways, Chu Yan looked at the meal that had reached noon, so he gathered Yu Qingrou and the others, ready to eat something.

Out of the restaurant, the group wandered around the street, at this time, often stepping on their toes to look into the distance.

"There are a lot of people in front of you, let's go and have a look. Everyone hit it off and walked over.

It turned out that the street performers were performing, the oldest was in his early twenties, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.

At the end of the performance, a girl in her early twenties walked out, combing two braids and falling straight to her waist, but with a bit of a posture, holding a tray in her hand, and saluting everyone again and again.

"The little woman's sister is seriously ill, and she hopes that her father will lend a hand, and those who have money will hold a money field, and those who have no money will hold a personal field, and the little woman will thank you here. ”

When everyone heard this, they all took action, but most of them were poor people, just like the people who sold vegetables in the teahouse and worked as coolies, everyone was two copper coins, and the three copper coins were put in the tray, at most, they were poor and poor, and they couldn't solve any problems at all.

"Childe, let's give some too, shall we?"

"yes, it's so pitiful, let's help them too. ”

Several girls around Chu Yan spoke one after another, but at this moment, a young man in his early thirties walked over step by step, holding a flower paper fan in his hand, with a lewd smile on his face, followed by several middle-aged men.

"The little girl looks pretty smart. The young man smiled lewdly and scratched at the girl's face, but was dodged.

"That's right, as long as you accompany Ben Gongzi for one night, Ben Gongzi will give you ten gold coins, how about it?"

"This son, we are selling our art and not selling ourselves, please respect yourself. A teenager stood in front of the woman, glaring.

"What are you pretending, do you still want to set up a chastity archway?" the young man pouted, "Isn't it too little, so let's do it, twenty gold coins, it's always okay, right?"

As he spoke, the young man waved his hand, and the few followers behind him wanted to take away the girl who was performing arts.

"Huh...... People have said that you don't want to bully people here with a few stinky money. ”

At this time, four middle-aged men walked over, and Chu Yan saw that it was none other than the four coolies who were in the teahouse earlier.

"Phew......"

The young man looked at him contemptuously: "Damn, don't pee and take a photo, call me." ”

Although these four coolies are burly, and those who are performing arts also have some skills, they are nothing compared to these cultivators, and they are all knocked to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Chang Zai and Gu Xiulan couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed up on tiptoe. In the face of the two god kings, how could these Heavenly Realms be opponents, they were knocked down in three or two strokes, and lay on the ground wailing in pain.

"Yo, there are two more little beauties, it's really good, it just so happens that today this son will kill three birds with one stone. The young man didn't care, and the flower folding fan in his hand slapped his palm again and again.

"How boring this is, why don't we sisters accompany this uncle together. At this time, Yue'er and the others walked over, with a demagogic smile, even the onlookers were stammering.

Eight stunning beauties surrounded the young man, and although he had a smile on his face, he was cold and scary.

"I'm really lucky to have so many beauties here today, so we'll be happy tonight. ”

Chu Yan was still standing in the crowd, thinking that if he was not a fool in front of him, he must have a strong backer, otherwise he would not dare to be so arrogant, the former was obviously unlikely, so who was his backer.

"Smack......

It was Su You, who did it, and slapped the young man in the face, and with a little force.

I saw the young man fly out directly, half of his teeth flying in the air.

"Come back to me. ”

As she spoke, Yue'er suddenly made a move, grabbed his calf, and with a slight force, she heard the sound of bones being pinched and burst.

"You, how dare you beat me, ah...... My leg. ”

The young man was obviously angry, and roared again and again: "This son is from the Ling Mansion, you have a few heads, and you dare to beat me." ”

"Bang Dang ......"

Yue'er didn't care what Ling Mansion didn't do, and she didn't know it, so she turned her hand back and threw him directly to the ground. (To be continued.) )
